Red.  Red. Red!!!!

I can't get it out of my mind!!!

Last night was so perfect!  PERFECT!!!  Why did she ruin it?!!!

I couldn't sleep.  Couldn't sleep at all.  I thought about her.  What I would do.  What I NEED to do.

Why is she scared?  Doesn't she know?  Know how much she means to me?  How much I love her?....

No.  She resists me.  She looks at me with trembling eyes.  She doesn't recognize what I am.  What I am to her.

.....Perhaps it's time......

I approach the door.  The door to her room.

I don't look through the glass.  I don't let myself.  I won't be tempted.  I CAN'T!

I throw open the door with one hand and enter the room.

What is this?  She... why is she....?  She is awake!

Though she was sleeping last time!!  Why is she awake?!  TREMBLING!!!!  CROUCHED IN A CORNER!!! TREMBLING AT ME!!!

Why does she do this!?  Does she not know???  Is she so IGNORANT??

.....No.  I'll show her.  I'll show her what she is.  What she means to me.  She will never forget.  But I need to prepare.  Prepare for the display!  Prepare the props!

I walk towards her.

Her body shrinks back.  SHRINKS BACK!! 

She trembles with her eyes wide.  Focused on me.  Scared of what I might do.  Afraid of the fate that awaits her.

I can't help but feel satisfied.  Satisfied of her SUBMISSION.  Resigning herself to the MERCY of my whims!  I LOVE it!! It's intoxicating!!!!

But I have to still myself.

Now is not the time.  Not yet.  NOT YET.

I hold out the plate of food.

I had it with me all along!  Even though she saw it, she was STILL scared!!!  A testament to my power.  My DOMINANCE!!

She doesn't look at the food.  Why?  Why??  Why, why, why, why, WHY!!!!!??  CAN'T YOU SEE?!!!  Can't you see I'm showing you mercy!!!??  Do you WANT to starve?!!

Her eyes stay on me.  Locked onto mine.

Her pupils are dilated, and shaking in her brilliant whites.

Ohhhh!!!

How magnificent!!

The redness from last night has disappeared!  VANISHED!!! Vanished entirely!!!!

I stand there.  Lost in her eyes.  Those BRILLIANT whites!

.............

How long?

How long had I been standing here?  What was I doing?

I look at the fearful girl in front of me.

Her body trembling up against the wall.  Trying to work its way further into the corner.  Ahhhh.  So lovely.  So BEAUTIFUL!!!  This girl.  This beautiful CREATURE!!!

I set the plate I am holding down in front of her.

Her eyes still never leave mine.  Her gaze is locked on mine.  SHE won't break it.  SHE won't look away until I'm gone!

A deep irritation stirs inside of me.

I can't stand it.  I CAN'T!!! No more!!!

I have to change her.  CHANGE this behavior!!!

Soon....  Soon she will see.  SOON all will be well!

But now she must eat.  She needs to live.  I NEED her to live.  I need HER!!

I push the plate closer with my boot.

She won't take it.  She won't EAT!!

I can't stand it.  I can't take it anymore!

I crouch down and pick up the plate in a flurry of movement.

She shrinks back and contorts her body further into the corner than I thought possible in response to my sudden movement.

No.....  NO!!! NO MORE!!! You WILL eat.  YOU WILL do as I say!!!!

I grab a hand full of the food from the plate, and with my other hand, I pry open her mouth.

"Argh!!"

She BIT ME!!!!!!!

BIT ME!  Actually BIT me!!!!!

No.... no! No! No! No! No! No! NO!!!!!!

I throw the food to the floor and grip her upper and lower jaw with both of my hands.

She WILL learn RESPECT!!!   She WILL learn what I am CAPABLE of!!!!

I pull hard with both hands, stretching her mouth open and pulling her jaws apart.

She lets out a GROSS gurgling noise as the corner of her lips tear slightly.

How repulsive.  REPULSIVE!!!

The appearance she has now!  What a savage!!!  Where is her elegance?!  How can she spread her mouth open this wide?!!!

I feel my face contort as I look down on her.

Her pupils are shaking violently in her eyes, and tears are running off the sides of her face.

Has she learned?  Learned her place?  Learned what is to be expected?

I once again grab and hand full off the plate and force it into her mouth.  Changing my grip, I force her mouth closed and bring my face close to hers.

Close.  CLOSE!!!  All I see is her!!!

For a moment I am taken back.  I can't think of anything.  Anything but HER!!

But she nods.  She shuts her eyes tightly, and swallows the food with much to much effort.

How grotesque.

I can't BE here anymore.

I can't LOOK at her.

I turn and leave.  Leaving her to her meal.

Without looking back, I exit the room.

So much to do.  SO SO much!!!  I quickly make plans for the future.
